Northern New Jersey Blue Crab Fishing

New Jersey offers excellent blue crab fishing. Armed with chicken and chicken necks marinated in Pautzke Blue Crab Fuel (a powerful crabbing scent) we caught several bushels of blue crabs while filming this episode of Pautzke Outdoors on the North Jersey Shore.
*Blue Crab Fuel is available at Jersey Shore Walmart locations and online from Bass Pro Shops.

So many of the crabs you added to the bushel were far under the 4 1/2 inch limit. Including a female that was approximately three inches. At this point, ethically, you should not be taking females. I'm sure NJ fish and Game will be interested in your video.

I agree Ted. I would be ashamed to film myself taking so many baby crabs.

[@THEATREofPAIN270]

I believe he was sorting through them at the end of the trip. Naturally taking the big legal crab and returning the rest. Now, The law states undersized & female must be returned immediately. I'm quite sure no crab were harmed during filming.

[@jakofall79]

You can actually take females without eggs at your discretion not take 1 not legal size or carriers you can loose all your gear and be fined

Doesn't seem very sporting to use cages and attractant. I grew up at the North Jersey Shore and did a lot of crabbing at Stockton Lake in Sea Girt, on the Manasquan River and in Barnegat Bay. All we used for bait were fish heads tied to a string. If we felt a tug, we slowly pulled on the string to bring the fish head to the surface and then attempted to scoop the crab up with a net. Lots of fun and good eating.

I have never caught crab in a lake. Must have a saltwater channel leading to it and backs up on flood tides

[@victorlorraine6596]

You talked about soaking sponges yet didn’t show any of them in the video ... I’m guessing your bait didn’t work as good as you thought 🤣😂

[@jakofall79]

Do they have any Piers that you can do a little crabbing on that river

[@scsouthbeach1]

Awesome thanks

[@Elevated.Gindset]

[@tyrelllovitt4234]

Nice Video

[@quindalleberry6468]

How long do you guys leave each crab cag out there before you pull it out?

[@crabbygolfer4714]

You pull the traps every 15-20 minutes

[@michaelgavin2843]

Dnt waste money on the blue crab fuel no major difference between having it on your bait and not having it

[@PippenWalker]

What kind of traps do you use?

[@chriskoloski8881]

You don't need that fuel just bunker

[@MrHappy4870]

Tip: Let your bait (often chicken necks) sit out in the sun a day or so until it gets "ripe". Crabs are scavengers like buzzards and are attracted to rotting flesh. A day of waiting is cheaper than any commercial "scent".

[@TeamPautzke]

Brian - as long as you are having fun and catching crabs - awesome! Keep up the good work!

[@gggg3359]

Thank bro

[@officerkrupke4966]

Crabbing drops off after two hours using fresh bait, than picks right up after changing out old bait to new fresh bait.

[@damagekids]

Thanks for the advice. Some of u guys give great n helpful pointers

[@alisonhender5623]

Don't worry it'll get stinky in the warm water faster than you could think of it leaving it out just makes it smell bad and gets on your hand and smells everything up it's all bull but the blue crab fuel really does work and I use fresh fish that out those chicken sometimes so it's just what the wrong but rotten chicken it's not good for anybody enjoy salmonella

[@charlescorris3469]

That guy was keeping undersized crabs…

[@TeamPautzke]

No, he wasn't. We checked every one of them for sorting after this, but thank you for your concern.

[@TiffanyJonesLotusLEDW]

These videos now are just informercials... "Blue Fuel, Blue Fuel..." Pushing unnecessary products on people. Unsubscribed. Don't have time for adverts in my youtube channels.

[@TeamPautzke]

Tiff - thanks! You are awesome for watching! Anytime you want to catch more - crabs - use Blue Crab Fuel!

[@alisonhender5623]
